BACKGROUND

<http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity is a
multidisciplinary international web-journal dedicated to issues of
tradition, cultural boundaries and identity formation in Central and
Eastern Europe. <http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity is
a peer-reviewed journal, and is published quarterly. New articles
appear in the February and August issues, while discussions arising
out of these articles or concerning recent events and publications
are posted in the April/June and October issues.

<http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity hopes to make a
contribution to ongoing debates in cultural studies. It  scrutinizes
the new, post-Soviet symbolic geographies that separate insiders from
outsiders (informed by history and politics but implying identity),
investigates the (historically and culturally) constructed nature of
common symbols and histories, and traces the multiple vectors of
domination and resistance involved in their emergence. Objects of
analysis are the histories and narratives in which these conflicting
forms of identification are negotiated. Feelings of territorial
cultural belonging, of Heimat and exile can be analyzed, for example,
through the prisms of migration patterns, diasporic experiences and
urban lifestyles.

<http://www.spacesofidentity.net>spacesofidentity welcomes essays and
scholarly articles from a number
of disciplines: history, sociology, and political science, as well as
literature, linguistics, ethnology, cultural anthropology, cultural
geography, cultural studies, film studies and gender studies.  The
aim of the journal is to include rather than to exclude various
scholarly approaches and points of view.  Within such a broadly
defined framework, we consider all topics relevant to the
question of identity formation. Even though Central and Eastern
Europe are the primary geographic areas of our interest, we welcome
comparative analyses that point out shared experiences in the process
of defining and redefining spaces of identity.
